Matthew 18:1-6

New Life Version

Jesus Teaches about the Faith of a Child ^(A)

18 At that time the followers came to Jesus. They said, “Who is the greatest in the holy nation of heaven?” ² Jesus took a little child and put him among them. ³ He said, “For sure, I tell you, unless you have a change of heart and become like a little child, you will not get into the holy nation of heaven. ⁴ Whoever is without pride as this little child is the greatest in the holy nation of heaven. ⁵ Whoever receives a little child because of Me receives Me. ⁶ But whoever is the reason for one of these little children who believe in Me to fall into sin, it would be better for him to have a large rock put around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.
